The president is set to have a large rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Tulsa, Oklahoma, has prepared for crowds of supporters and protesters as the mayor preemptively declared a “civil emergency” and imposed a curfew.makes his first appearance at a political rally since the coronavirus pandemic hit a critical mass in the United States, he will stand in obvious contrast with his Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden -- a contrast he himself is trying to highlight.
Dr. Lena Wen, an emergency physician and public health professor at George Washington University, previously told ABC News she worries about the event's consequences. Biden’s events are limited to small gatherings, with guests being instructed that the events have been set up to comply with CDC guidance and as a result, no individual photos will be taken with the vice president. Everyone, including Biden, wears a mask, and removes it only when speaking.
Democrats involved in the 2016 campaign say the challenge for Biden, whose campaign has prized safety and caution over flashiness, is to run against an opponent who views himself as unburdened by the constraints imposed by the coronavirus crisis on the campaign trail. "Trying to be a responsible leader is really hard right now. Because cameras are still going to go to the [Trump] rally, they’re still gonna pick it up, and you're still left to be responsive."

In a statement released Friday, the Trump campaign lambasted the Biden campaign’s state infrastructure as"nonexistent," and insisted there is not enough time for the Democratic nominee to make up the gap.
